But don’t just take their word for it. Check out the glitzy job SMP produced for Marks & Spencer to highlight the company’s sponsorship of Britain’s Got Talent, which used Mirri Confetti board to add a bit of sparkle and catch shoppers’ attention. Then there’s the giant free-standing book created for Penguin to promote the launch of a new title that saw lots of people queuing to pose for selfies in front of. Judges were equally impressed by the 3D ‘pop-up’ POP story book printed on a Koenig & Bauer Rapida 162A five-colour litho press running alcohol-free with vegetable-based inks, which was produced to promote supermarket chain Aldi’s 2018 Christmas campaign.

Imprint excels at delivering POP that’s ‘fit’ for purpose as its ACE 2 ‘rocket ships’ produced for fitness tracker brand Fitbit testifies. The eye-catching POP, which was printed on one of Imprint’s Inca Onset digital presses before being cut on a Kongsberg XP44 and finished by hand, was so impactful the client is currently looking to roll the design out across further high-street retailers and overseas. Judges praised Imprint’s “great execution showing quality print and finishing to produce creative, interactive and easy to assemble POP”.
